Nearest thus far is a John 1918 ?

Nothing so far for a Jack.

Can we presume Jack was born in Scotland ?

Any idea if Jack was his given name ?

Any idea as to approximate death etc ?

Although trying hard to assist searching for Campbell in what I see as Scotland is similar to Jones in Wales, Patel in India etc. Will keep searching and try to help, any further info from Jacks would be invaluable, It would help to know the place of birth and death and taking the Campbell surname, possibly at least the parents first names or that of siblings etc.

Hopefully, we could strike lucky but really do need as much info as pos that on searching: that not relevant can be discarded.

Fingers Crossed.

Would appreciate all thoughts and assistance from all on site in an attempt to help further.

Thanx.

Please excuse all of the questions, we start at square one, presented with a puzzle aka Jigsaw it is all pretty much detective work then in. It is the norm to find that those that enquire hold a / the key.

Hopefully, as we gain all your knowledge we can find more "
